The following are simple math games that you can play at home with your child to keep practicing skills.

Guess My Number

1. Draw or look at a hundreds chart2. Pick a secret number from 1 to 100 and don’t tell your child what it is.3. Have your child ask you questions to try and guess what the number is? Sample questions include: is it more than/less than is it odd/even is it a multiple of __ does it end in __ does it have more than ____ tens4. Cross off numbers on the chart as they are eliminated by your child's questions.5. Use a tally to keep track of how many guesses it takes your child to identify the secret number. Next time you play, try to beat that number of guesses.

Go 10

Materials: 3-4 players1 deck of cards, minus the face cardsAce = 1

1. Deal out all the cards. The game is played like Fish, except that each player is trying to make 10.2. Each pair of cards that makes 10 is placed face up in front of the player who makes it.3. The winner is the player with the most pairs when no more 10s can be formed.

** Try making bigger numbers like 50, 100, 200, 500, or even 1,000 by making the playing card a higher place value. (For Example; if you want to play to 50 or 200, make a 3 playing card into a 30. If you want to play to 500 or 1,000, make a 3 playing card into a 300.)

Number of the Day

Directions: Pick a number between 1-1,000 and answer the questions below. (start with a smaller number and build up to 1,000)

Show with base 10 blocks [blocks, strips, and singles]The number just before is ….10 more than this number is ….Write in expanded notation…. (i.e. 500+50+4=554)This number is odd/even….10 less than this number is ….The number just after is ….Write out in words ….3 other ways to make this number are: (i.e. 550+4; 150+204+200; 600-46)This number is a multiple of ….25 more than this number is ….Start at today’s number and count by 5’s ten times.
